[Anime] Umineko - Spoilers & Expectations (for experienced VN readers only)

[Mint Kashiro]

Even though Lambda looks like a little girl I still imagine her with Miyo Takano's voice. Especially since Bern has a deep voice, I don't have troubles imagining her with a deeper one. I will cry if she has Satoko's voice instead of at least Miyoko's. XD

As for the room turning red, I think that is the most likely option for it.

But how about Lambdadelta's red truth in the end of EP4 ?

[June 1983]

I have to admit I've always imagined Lambda with Satoko's voice, too. XD She just TALKS like her!

[Katsu Koneko]

Yeah agreed~ I've always thought of Lamb with her voice. xDD

owo I wonder how DEEN will handle...

Spoiler for EP2:

Rosa's Party. :3

Lambda is described as very childish though. Even Bern refers to her as child Maybe her voice would get a bit more darker when she's going all evil psycho but otherwise I don't expect anything close to Bern's deep voice when thinking of Lambda. Just me though.

Lambdadelta should have Young Takano's voice.

[TsundereCake]

This was discussed pages ago (and on another topic), but looking through Miki Itou's past roles, she should be able to produce a Lambdadelta-like voice (Asa Shigure from Shuffle! is a good example.) But this may also get confusing with the fact that Eva-Beato should also have a younger sounding voice :/ In my opinion, Itou should voice Lambdadelta, and an entirely new actress should voice Eva-Beato (come on, Nakahara Mai : DDDDDDD)

I don't want Miki to voice Lambda personally. She's already voicing someone in the anime. There's no real reason that she has to do Lambda as well as Eva. If that was the case then it would have been smarter to just cast someone else as Eva and give Miki a role as Lambda. Her doing both just doesn't seem right.

Spoiler for Minor EP 4 spoilers:

Lambda isn't a minor cameo role like Okonogi is. I wouldn't have a problem with Kosugi voicing Okonogi briefly when he comes up later in the season, even if he's already doing Krauss, because Okonogi shows up for that one scene and that's it. But Lambda has a much bigger role in all this, as we know well.

If anyone should take Lambda's role is Miyoko's seiyuu, considering Lambda is a younger childlike version of Takano.

[momobunny]

But Eva-Beato needs to be voiced by somebody who already voices Eva.

Eva-Beato and Eva are basically the same person.

Lambdadelta on the other hand isn't Takano.

Also Miyoko already has a seiyuu that would suit Lambda pretty well. There's no need to bring in yet ANOTHER seiyuu and confuse things even more. Besides, I'm sure they're expensive to get. >.>;

[shokku]

hmmm... but considering the layout for the voices they have now, it probably will end up with young takano being EVA-Beatrice's voice and having someone else from the higurashi cast (I really wouldn't doubt Mika Kanai) to do do lambda... But also to consider is the fact that they had Yukari Tamura use the exact same voice for bern in umineko as she did for frederica in the higurashi matsuri (really, its exactly the same) so I also wouldn't put it past them to try and use miyoko's voice for Lambda... it really feels like it could lean either way... plus, I would doubt them getting someone who wasn't part of higurashi for an important role...

Of course. Only a handful of the VA cast for Umineko actually comes from Higurashi's cast (Miki (Takano), Yukari (Rika), Ono (Akasaka), Kosugi (Okonogi), Ohara (Rika's mother).)

[Deathkillz]

Miki Itou is more of a specialist for "grownup/mature" voices than voicing a "young kid". Though I have suspicious that the design for Lambda would really add on the years (just like how Bern turned out, where is my loli >.>). So depending on the design, maybe an older voice would be find for her...but still Miki would need to use a much younger voice than Takano.

Looking at the character art both Bern and Lambda have chest, but it appears Bern's chest is more busty. Then again they stole Bern's chest so I wouldn't be shocked if they stole Lambda's.

But considering Lambda's personality I think a more childlike voice would be more suiting than something deep for Bern, who is described as somewhat emotionless and jaded, as I said before.

Don't forget Yui Horie (Hanyuu). :3

[Marion]

Knew I was forgetting someone XD;

But yeah, only a handful. As the story progresses the voices will only grow. Seriously the entire Umineko character list goes over 50 I think XD

[Jan-Poo]

Isn't there any joke about the fact that the K-On band was called "After School Tea party"?

I'm amazed nobody mentioned that ^^;

Like I don't know, the Seven Sisters forming a band named: "After game tea party".

[Deathkillz]

Oh I personally found Bern's voice very fitting for her, which was helped by her "grown up" appearance. I actually imagined that she would have a deep emotionless voice and it came out fine with Yukari using her Fredrica voice. I certainly can't see a lighter tone of voice for Bern to use...maybe even Mizuki nana's emotionless fate chan voice is considered a bit too high for Bern. Lambda definitely needs a childlike voice though, or she won't be able to pull off her stupid comments (super paper!!!)

There's also Yuu Kobayashi (Satoshi)... I almost forgot to include her. owo;

But yeah, considering how many characters there are, it's likely that only a fraction of them will be from Higurashi. (Unless they go and take every Higurashi seiyuu and somehow give them all roles that wouldn't match at all.)

Mai Nakahara as Siesta 00
Mika Kanai as Gaap
Satsuki Yukino as Virgilia
Soichiro Hoshi as Amakusa
Chafurin as Ronove
Fumiko Orikasa as Ange

Blah blah blah... (some of these might not be as bad as I think, I dunno seeing as I only have Higurashi to reference them all by. ^^; )

[June 1983]

XD Chafurin should seriously be the ship captain. It would work! Or maybe Professor Ootsuki.

Come on, let's just give in and have a big Higurashi reunion. So moving. :P
